The 981 Cayman GTS (2014-2016) is a mid-engined coupe powered by a 3.4L flat-six making 340 hp, paired with a 6-speed manual or 7-speed PDK. It sits between the Cayman S and the GT4, adding a sport-tuned chassis, PASM as standard, and Alcantara-heavy interior. It is widely regarded as the sweet spot of the 981 range for balance, usability and driver engagement.
The GTS delivers the 981 platform's near-perfect mid-engine balance and hydraulic-feel-adjacent steering response with a naturally aspirated flat-six that revs to 7,800 rpm. As the last naturally aspirated Cayman before the turbocharged 718, it carries growing significance as a pure analogue-leaning sports car.
